The departure of Jurgen Klopp from the club after the end of the season provokes controversy regarding the next manager. Klopp’s reign at Liverpool is a fairy tale story, sealing every recognizable trophy from the day he joined the club in 2015. He finally took the 30-year-long Premier League wait away from Liverpool in 2019-20 and rewarded them with their first-ever Premier League title in the season.
The last season was the one when he took the club to the Champions League victory. In that season, Reds became the holders of the top-tier European club competition. Klopp resuscitated the club, in a way that might make it difficult to find his successor. Nevertheless, Carteret Analytics identified the potential successors by using their expertise in data. Liverpool fans responded to Jurgen’s leaving Anfield with sorrow. Many find replacing the popular German manager is going to be a difficult job.
Who are the likely replacements for Klopp at Liverpool as per statistics?
Carteret Analytics employs the seven key metrics in assessing a candidate with the capabilities of replacing Klopp. Xabi Alonso, former midfielder for Liverpool and current manager of Bayern Leverkusen becomes an intimidating frontrunner. Leverkusen’s defeat paused Alonso’s longest unbeaten run in Germany which was 33 games now, and made a new German record.

What is likely to happen at the end of the season?
Nagelsmann who was managing Bayern´s squad until recently has been appointed as the interim manager for the German national team, with Klopp’s backing. Spurs, under the leadership of Postecoglou, are delivering a good showing this season, hoping to get into the European qualifications slots.
These developments can potentially boost the chances of Nagelsmann against other candidates, particularly because of Klopp’s support, as they have the same German background. The period of Nagelsmann’s contract with the German team ends in July, contributing more to his value as a candidate.
Alonso, among the competitors, gets an advantage from his head coach who has acquired success, particularly if Leverkusen is crowned with the championship. Nevertheless, the uncertainty in his interest for the transition persists. Negotiations with Liverpool are said to be leading, but no commitments yet have been made. Alonso also has links with Bayern Munich on the radar.
Up to this point, the chosen replacement for Klopp is unclear, with many names coming forward.
